CELTIC have completed the signing of Leigh Griffiths - but Joe Ledley could still be on his way to Crystal Palace.

Wolves striker Griffiths has signed a four-year contract with the Scottish champions with the deal announced just over three hours before the transfer deadline.

But Ledley has a decision to make after Celtic accepted an offer for the Wales midfielder, who is out of contract in the summer and has failed to accept a new deal to stay at Parkhead.

Lennon also announced that striker Mo Bangura would be leaving the club.

Across the city, Rangers held on to Lee Wallace after rejecting two offers earlier in the week from Nottingham Forest, who went on to sign another Scotland left-back, Danny Fox.

Manager Ally McCoist said: "The club did receive a couple of offers for Lee Wallace earlier this week but they did not meet the club's valuation for the player and were rejected.

"He has been one of our key players for the last couple of years, so we are very keen to keep players of his calibre."

McCoist added: "I don't think there will be the scope to bring one or two players in. I'd be very hopeful that might change in the summer."

Hibernian manager Terry Butcher put a frustrating month behind him to bring in three loan additions.

Notts County striker Danny Haynes, 19-year-old Sunderland winger Duncan Watmore and 21-year-old Arsenal right-back Daniel Boateng joined until the end of the season.

Dundee United secured a similar deal for 20-year-old Newcastle central defender Curtis Good while loaning Kudus Oyenuga to Boreham Wood.

Partick Thistle brought in two midfielders on loan until the end of the campaign after Ross Forbes signed for Dunfermline, following MArk Kerr out of the exit door this week.

They signed Ghana international Prince Buaben, who won the Scottish Cup during four years at Dundee United before joining Watford in 2011 and moving to Carlisle last summer.

And George Moncur - described as a hard-tackling central midfielder - has arrived from West Ham. The 20-year-old was an England Under-18 international and has made two first-team appearances for the Hammers as well as 20 on loan at AFC Wimbledon.

Ross County completed their seventh signing of the window as 25-year-old Slovakian right-back Erik Cikos joined from Slovan Bratislava until the end of the season.

They later added under-20s midfielder Scott Ferries from Aberdeen while Branislav Micic departed and Steven Ross joined Brora on loan.

Kilmarnock signed Sunderland winger David Moberg Karlsson on loan until the end of the season. The 19-year-old joined Sunderland for £1.5million from IFK Gothenburg last summer but has has made just one appearance.

Killie released Portuguese wide man David Silva while Jude Winchester signed for Cliftonville on loan.

Danny Grainger moved from St Mirren to Dunfermline while Inverness loaned Calum Ferguson to Montrose.

St Johnstone signed Nottingham Forest midfielder Mark Davies - son of City ground boss Billy Davies - on loan for the rest of the season.

He is joined by 18-year-old Fisayo Adarabioyo, a former Manchester City trainee who signed until the end of the season. Striker Rory Fallon was released.

The big deal in the Championship saw Falkirk midfielder Jay Fulton move to Swansea. The Bairns rejected several verbal offers for defender Stephen Kingsley and signed Celtic defender Joe Chalmers on loan.
